Actor Choo Young-woo perfectly played two roles and fully displayed his acting potential.

In episode 9 of tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Gyeonwu and the Fairy’ (directed by Kim Yong-wan, written by Yang Ji-hoon, planned by CJ ENM, produced by Studio Dragon, Dexter Pictures, and EO Contents Group)that aired on the 21st, the ending where the evil spirit Bong-soo(played by Choo Young-woo)took over Bae Gyeon-woo’s(played by Choo Young-woo)body shocked viewers, while Choo Young-woo’s two alter egos captivated viewers.

On this day, Youngan(靈眼) Bae Gyeon-woo met Maeng Mu-dang in secret from Park Seong-ah.Maeng Mu-dang said that Park Seong-ah would be punished, and Bae Gyeon-woo asked him to break the binding that was connecting them for Park Seong-ah’s safety.However, Maeng Mu-dang could not easily break the binding between Park Seong-ah and Bae Gyeon-woo.Their desire to protect each other was too strong, and there was no room for other sorcery.Instead of breaking the binding, Maeng Mu-dang warned them to never get involved with ghosts, and even if they did, they must never see blood.

However, Bae Gyeon-woo found the suicide ghost attached to Bo-yeon(played by Ham Sung-min), and it was a crisis.The moment Park Sung-ah let go of Bae Gyeon-woo’s hand to save Bo-yeon, the evil spirit Bong-su appeared.Bong-su provoked Bae Gyeon-woo, saying, “You said you were taking care of the shaman.If you leave the suicide ghost alone, it will be useless.” Bae Gyeon-woo, who remembered the painful memories, ran to save Bo-yeon, and at that moment, he was cut by a knife and his facial features were torn open.

Bae Gyeon-woo, who woke up, looked at Park Sung-ah carefully and was the same as usual, but Park Sung-ah, who sensed something strange, asked with tears in her eyes, “Where is Gyeon-woo?” When Park Sung-ah was certain that it was not Bae Gyeon-woo because he was not doing his archery routine, Bong-soo shocked her by revealing his identity and saying, “I ate him.”

As attention is focused on the direction in which the fates of Bong-soo and Bae Gyeon-woo will flow, Choo Young-woo’s dual role acting shines.He maximizes the contrast between the characters by expressing the pure and devoted Bae Gyeon-woo and the cynical and eerie Bong-soo with completely different breathing, gazes, and speech.Choo Young-woo, who created a sense of immersion as if two completely different characters coexisted in the same face, further heightened the tension of the play by delicately implementing not a simple transformation but an inner acting that changed the emotional knot.
